CALL FOR CREATIVES #presenceequalspower
This summer we are looking to create, empower and grow.
Gulls and Crows was founded by Filipino Photographer Jose Melgarejo with the mission to create opportunities for individuals to pursue the creative life of their dreams. For many self-starters, living out their work means putting forth an incredible amount energy. This could not be more true for underrepresented creatives.
Gulls and Crows' mission is one of empowerment, and there is no greater time than now to create the dream we long for. Let's safely meet, create and grow together.
This summer, we invite you to shoot, model, style and create content that represents communities of culture, color, and other underrepresented communities. We hope to showcase and share your content in the spirit that #presenceequalspower
